Novelty, Creativity, Innovation and Invention

"The best way to predict your future is to create it..!"

-By Abraham Lincoln-

The creative person is one who generates new ideas while the creative process is how these new ideas, solutions, and inventions are produced. It is said that, we are all naturally creative.

AMBIGUITY OF CREATIVITY

-Being creative is seeing the same thing as everybody else but thinking of something different.

-Finding the meaning or precise definition of creativity to some is an impossible task as to them creativity does not have one definite meaning or definition.

-Creativity is the process of generating something new that has value. There are many new ideas and concepts, but some may not have value and hence may not be considered creative. A creation is something original that has value.

-Creativity appears to be utilized in varying degrees by different people with different culture and different background.

-Creativity involves the translation of our unique gifts, talents and vision into an external reality that is new and useful.

-Thinking is a specific skill, which can be learned and this goes far beyond traditional analysis and judgment of creativity.

Defining novelty

-Novelty is the quality of being new. Although it may be said to have an objective dimension (e.g. a new style of art coming into being, such as abstract art or impressionism) it essentially exists in the subjective perceptions of individuals.

Subjective and Objective novelty

-Subjective novelty is the apperception of something as being new by an individual person or a group of persons.

-Objective novelty is something that is new for all humanity in its development through ages. It is unlikely, however, that even the most knowing and knowledgeable person boldly say that he knows everything that was before and take liberty to judge things from this standpoint.

Originality is not a decisive feature of creative work and Novelty in

creativity is always based on what has been created before.

Creativity

-the generation of new ideas or a new way of doing things.

Defining Innovation

-Innovation is the process of making improvements by introducing

something new, the realization of a creative idea in a social context.

-Innovation is a process by which an idea or invention is translated

into a good or service for which people will pay.

-To be called an innovation, an idea must be replicable at an

economical cost and must satisfy a specific need.

-Innovation is synonymous with risk-taking and firms which introduce revolutionary products or technologies take on the greatest risk because they have to create new markets.

Inventors

those who take existing knowledge and create new ideas.

*There are four types of creativity:-

-Aesthetic Organizers.

-Boundary Pushers — those who take an existing idea and push it a little further.

-Inventors — those who take existing knowledge and create new ideas — the Edisons of this world.

-The rarest group: Boundary Breakers — the Leonardos and the Copernicuses.

~DEFINING CREATIVITY~

What is CREATIVITY all about?(Lesson 1)

Creativity :-

• Creativity is the ability to think up and design new inventions, produce works of art, solve problems in new ways, or develop an idea based on an original, novel, or unconventional approach.
• Creativity is the ability to see something in a new way, to see and solve problems no one else may know exists, and to engage in mental and physical experiences that are new, unique, or different. Creativity is a critical aspect of a person's life, starting from inside the womb onward through adulthood.
• An ability = the ability to imagine or invent something new.
• An attitude = ability to accept change and newness, a willingness to play with ideas and possibilities, a flexibility of outlook, the habit of enjoying the good, while looking for ways to improve it.
  
• A process = work hard and continually to improve ideas and solutions, by making gradual alterations and refinements to their works.

Many peoples arguing to each others that they cannot be creative and how to be creative but for me,everyone in this world can be creative if they want to.
In my opinion,creative is something that you think far from the reality.It mean like imagination beyond your own limit.It can be spontaneous thinking like the way children or young one thinking.Kids always think freely because by them,this world is just a game for them and that why when they create something,they do it spontaneously and shows great works of creative mind.Creative is anything that you create with your own ideas or concepts that can change it to unique and fantastic result even your ideas is simple but then it is a creative things.
In my opinion also,Creative is something that you create from your own heart which is you put your own feelings and hard work in every single ideas that you want to create.

We can refer to Sir Ken Robinson who is a creative and expert person who talk about "School Kill Creativity".

These are some examples of children drawings which I think is creative even it just a normal and simple drawings but then full of emotions and brilliant ideas :-
